Welcome.

All of the counter-evidence that you're willing to look for can be summed up as, "big business, i.e. Big Tobacco, Big Pharm, will lose revenue."

I'm speculating here, but if it wasn't for these business being greatly harmed by the legalization of marijauana, there would be no roadblocks to getting marijuana legalized.

You left out the police departments who would have their funding slashed from not having to enforce stupid drug laws.

Definitely, but they like to make false assumptions from an experiment in 1974, saying that it does kill brain cells. Even though, the subjects weren't given sufficient oxygen, so in terms, it killed the brain cells. Respectively, they blamed it on Marijuana, which was far from the point. And yet, in 2007 they did another experiment that showed that Marijuana increases metabolic rates in the brain (Preferably the Hippocampus), which contributes to cell division. But they prefer to blame not legalizing Marijuana on the terms that it has no medicinal benefits, and that it is harmful. But as you said, that's definitely a major factor that prohibits Marijuana from getting legalized...

I would find that a sackable offence in any school I've been to.

Is this meant to be ironic?


Welcome anyways.

Well, I couldn't do anything about it at the time. Just another mislead bigot, and that's more shameful than being labeled a Nazi, by someone that doesn't even know you.

Actually, it's just an inside joke. I've never heard such terrible lyrics come from a Rap artist, since 2Chains...

Oh, and I don't like you. (Harvey said to pass that along as well.)

Sorry.


"Harvey's rules."





(Btw, Hitler was making religious references in Mein Kampf, long before there was a Nazism in which to be atheistic.)



I feel welcomed in your presence...
